How Your Iron Softener Works
Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium which build up inside your water heater, plumbing fixtures and appliances. The
minerals also react with soap to form a scum which appears as bathtub ring, greys your laundry, sinks, tubs and toilets.
Iron Softener contains a bed of fine mesh ion exchange resin beads. As water passes through the bed, calcium and magnesium, the
hardness minerals and any clear or red water iron are removed and held by the resin.
Eventually, the resin beads become saturated and must be regenerated. A brine solution is drawn into the bed to drive out the
accumulated minerals. This process is called ion exchange. After the minerals and brine are rinsed out with fresh water, the
regenerated resin is ready to soften your water again.
Important Reminder
For the proper operation of your of Iron Softener, a supply of PRO-ResCare solution is essential to extend the life of the resin media
bed. If you have not purchased the following items along with your softener, please contact your supplier or installer to obtain them.
The PRO-ResCare in combination with the Res-Up Automatic Feeder delivers the appropriate amount of the solution to the brine tank.
The PRO-ResCare solution added is used in the regeneration cycle to chemically clean the resin bed of iron and other contaminants.
Without the PRO-ResCare solution, iron will foul the media over time causing loss of performance, increased pressure drops and
leakage of hardness and iron.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME READ THE LABEL AND WARNINGS BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT WITH YOUR WATER SOFTENER. USE ALL SUGGESTED CAUTIONS WHEN
USING AND STORING THE "PRO-ResCare" PRODUCT.
